IT'S THE JIF LEMON TREE!

Well Peter Ustinov may have written a play called "Halfway Up A Tree", but halfway up this tree was a strange fruit that I mentioned on Retro back in April - plastic Jif lemons!
We weren't hallucinating after all - here is the evidence from 1974.

    I'd need to see that in colour, :)
    I remember them well tho,
    Some folk said they were real,
    not too sure Lemons would survive the cold blast of the Silvery Tay tho !!!!

    I remember it well, my boyfriend at the time (now my husband) is from Cyprus, where real lemons grow, he thought it was hilarious!!
